    If you have a child on dupixent and/or you are seeking allergy care/consultation for a child, RUN…read morefar away from McCulley Allergy. In a town like Memphis that is known for renown children's medical care, it is such a shame that institutions like McCulley Allergy exist in the same metro area. I will go and add a spoiler here, too: call MidSouth ENT and Allergy (901-755-5300). INCREDIBLE with children. We started our eczema journey when my child was 18 months old in 2022. After months of every type of cream, steroids, allergy testing, eliminating harmful chemicals in my home, we started dupixent shots at the East Memphis location with Dr. Zelig. Dr. Zelig has since moved to SC - and with that, all of the great bedside manner for children went with him. McCulley staff initially did the dupixent shots on my daughter (now 2 years old) - but the shot is designed for parents to do at home, so the staff really belitted me and made me feel like a nuisance coming in to get these shots. At the time, the EM receptionist (not the current one) NEVER answered the phone; she was generally just bad at her job (she's no longer there). I was willing to pay our $35 copay just to have another individual inject the traumatic shot on our daughter. After a few months of this, I eventually succumbed to doing the shots at home and our daughter developed extreme anxiety to bath time, bedtime...thinking that we were going to give her this shot. After consulting with our pediatrician, he strongly advised us to stop doing the shots at home as we were infringing on our daughter's "safe space." He warned that this could create a deeper anxiety issue. I went back to McCulley. This time, we went to the Germantown clinic, as the EM clinic is only part time and they always seemed overwhelmed. We were met with the same rude receptionist that is described in the other reviews. I persisted. We came in every 4 weeks. Then, one Saturday, I saw that they were open, so we arrived to McCulley to get the Dupixent shot. The overwhelmed shot nurse (African American, very pretty) looked at me and said, "Oh, we don't do those shots on Saturdays." The shot schedule is posted on business cards, signage; it does not differentiate between biologics and allergy shots. By this point, my daughter is in a full panic, screaming, realizing that she's going to get the shot. I pleaded with them. I explained how our pediatrician advised for us (mom and dad) to NOT do it because she it was causing such panic and anxiety in our 4 year old. The nurse just argued with me. She showed no sympathy for this scared little girl. I continued to stand my ground. Eventually, they gave her the shot, but said that they were really "doing me a favor" and they would look into "maybe" changing the shot schedule to be more specific. I left that office feeling helpless that this was our only option for dupixent. In late 2024/early 2025, we decide to go back to the EM clinic (the receptionist here is LOVELY; the only bright spot for this group). It's manageable for about 6 months. The EM receptionist is the only kind one - we see this as a win that we have one individual being kind to our 4 year old who still hates this shot. In June, my husband took my daughter for her shot in EM. My daughter is panicking, per usual. The staff seems annoyed that she has to be put in a room. My husband (who is always telling me to stay calm) comes home and says that the nurse looked at my daughter and said, "come on now. you are 5 and you can't act like this anymore." Completely dismissing my child. You know it's bad if my pretty chill husband comments on it considering all we had experienced prior to this. At that point, I was done. I also leave this with a message for Dr. McCulley and her staff: shame on you. One of the biggest blessings of 2025 is that we are now free from this cesspool of a clinic. Perhaps use the money dedicated to clinic expansion and use it on some training and development of your current staff.

    I highly recommended. This is my first time today for my son appt at 1pm. The staff was great and…read morehelpful. Dr. McCulley was awesome. She explained everything to me. She gave me papers to explain everything i needed to know!
